Patent AU-6548586-A (AU)
Title: Thermally powered engine
Inventor: CLARK ROBERT W JR
IPC: F01K7/12
Filed: 1986-10-16
Abstract: A thermally powered engine which obtains energy from a closed heat transfer loop. The engine has two power cylinders. A piston is reciprocally mounted within each cylinder and divides the interior space of each cylinder into two portions. A piston rod is affixed to each piston and extends through the upper closed end of each cylinder. A flexible diaphragm is mounted in the lower portion of each cylinder and with the lower closed end of the cylinder forms a power chamber. A fluid fills the upper portion of both cylinders. A passageway between the cylinders permits the fluid to act as a free piston causing the piston of the cylinder in its exhaust stroke to force refrigerant from its power chamber to the condenser of the heat transfer loop. Refrigerant from the evaporator of the transfer loop flowing into a power chamber forces the piston upward during the pistons power stroke. Valves regulate the flow of refrigerant into and out of the power chambers of each of the power cylinders. Flow of refrigerant is controlled so that motion of the pistons of the two power cylinders is 180 DEG  out of phase. Several pairs of power cylinders can be connected in series with the refrigerant flowing through the pairs serially prior to reaching the condenser. Isothermal sequential displacement of the refrigerant through the power chambers of a series of pairs of power cylinders increases the thermal efficiency of the engine.

Title: Fly-by xor
Inventor: KLEIMAN STEVEN R
IPC: G06F11/10
Filed: 1998-02-27
Abstract: The invention provides a method and system for performing XOR operations without consuming substantial computing resources. A specialised processor is coupled to the same bus as a set of disk drives; the specialized processor reviews data transfers to and from the disk drives and performs XOR operations on data transferred to and from the disk drives without requiring separate transfers. The specialised processor maintains an XOR accumulator which is used for XOR operations, which records the result of XOR operations, and which is read out upon command of the processor. The XOR accumulator includes one set of accumulator registers for each RAID stripe, for a selected set of RAID stripes. A memory (such as a contents-addressable memory) associates one set of accumulator registers with each selected RAID stripe. <IMAGE>

Date Apr. 17, 1997An apparatus and a method for shaping a rotationally-symmetrical surface in a material, where the material is rotated about an axis and a rotating element is placed in contact with the rotating material. The rotating element is provided with a symmetrical, coherent shaping edge, or is provided with such an edge at one end, or as an alternative, is a shaping head which travels around a symmetrical, coherent contour. The axis of rotation of the rotating element is then placed at an angle to the axis of rotation of the material and, during shaping, a force is exerted on the rotating element such that the shaping edge or the shaping head is held in contact with the material and such that the lateral position of the shaping edge or the contour around which the rotating element travels in operation remains approximately constant with respect to the material. The shaping edge/contour has an acircular shape and the orientation thereof is kept approximately constant with respect to the material during shaping. The shape of the shaping edge/contour and the angle between the axis of rotation are matched to the desired ashperical shape of the curves of the material.

IPC: A61N1/32
Filed: 1991-03-22
Abstract: An electrically powered iontophoretic delivery device is provided. The device includes a pair of electrode assemblies (41, 43) and a source of electrical power (30) connected thereto. Circuitry (60) is provided including an activation circuit (62) and a power generating circuit (70).

Title: Device for determination of the topography of a surface
Inventor: LINDQVIST DAVID
IPC: G01B11/12
Filed: 1991-04-23
Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for determination of the topography of a surface by measuring its normal vector point by point, as well as devices for determination of the curvature of the surface in these points, and for determination of the orientation, position, shape and size of holes in the surface. The said devices are based on the use of opto-electronic sensors (1; 1-2) for measurement of the spatial position of active light sources. The invention is furthermore based on an accessory tool (1; 4) consisting of a body (3a; 5), a minimum of two light sources (3a; 6-8) and three contact pins (3a; 10-12) or a plane contact surface. The contact pins or the contact surface positions the tool unambiguously onto a surface (1; 3).

Title: Short body endoprosthesis
Inventor: KUJAWSKI DENNIS
IPC: A61F2/06
Filed: 1998-09-04
Abstract: The invention comprises, inter-alia, endoprosthetic implants for treating vascular defects, including abdominal aortic aneurysms. Implants according to the invention have a short main body that can be positioned within a patient's aorta at a position above the renal end of an aortic aneurysm. The short main body includes a proximal, or renal, face that redirects the flow of blood into the openings of channels that can carry blood past the aneurysm. In this way, the flow of blood through the aorta is diverted into the two passageways and through the main body of the implant. Fluid exiting the implant can be carried by leg extensions and delivered to a healthy part of the patient's aorta or the iliac arteries. Accordingly, the implant provides a system for allowing blood traveling through the aorta to be carried by a vascular graft that spans an aortic aneurysm, thereby relieving fluid pressure on the thin wall of aortic aneurysm, and reducing the risk of death caused by a ruptured aneurysm.
